depends whats wrong with it. you can always go buy some resin and re do the busted area.. or just scrap it and buy a poly kit or go back to the stock look. i like the last one

if ur gonna fix it just go out and get yourself some fiberglass resin, they sell it at a lot of hardware stores. also if the crack is bad or it a gap or hole, use some of the fiberglass sheets...

Once you repair the area.. add a few layers to the back side to add strength..

Put the stock shit back on. IMO it looks better and cleaner. If you want to have a body kit, go with the poly.

Fiberglass is really easy to work with..

I reccomend most people to reinforce thier fiberglass kits when they get them.. before installing... Most kits sold now are just really thin and weak.

My front bumper is rather thick and kevlar reinforced.. I have scraped it hard many times and its never cracked or damaged it any more than taking some paint off.
